One of five domes containing two one bedroom apartments each. All set around an octagonal swimming pool and only steps from the pristine beaches of Trinity Beach. Unit #6 contains one bedroom with a Queen size bed, as well as a loft over the kitchen with a double bed. This unit sleeps 4 very comfortably.

Trinity Beach is a quiet seaside community with several excellent restaurants and cafés within a short stroll.

If you plan to visit Port Douglas, The Daintree, or Kuranda Village, Trinity Beach is closer than staying in Cairns.

The location is great. Also, we have got all the essentials. The room is lovely and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Sophie2014-12-21T00:00:00Z

Great location! The Igloos separates only a scarcely traveled road from the clean beach. The Igloo itself was totally comfortable and tasteful furnishings. Desiree has even between past brought us clean towels. Everything is there, what you need for a perfect and relaxing holiday close to Cairns! From kitchen utensils, bath products, washing machine, folding chairs, books, games ... Just perfect! There were many great flyer of excursions, menus of nearby restaurants and a very useful information pack on our arrival in the Igloo. Also Desiree immediately inquired as to whether we have been well received. We felt very welcome :)

Jul2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay during Xmas 2014. We simply chilled out and relaxed and this is the place to do it! The facilities are brilliant and Desiree will take you to the supermarket if you haven't got transport, she even let us borrow the car! Great cool pool too and right on the doorstep. Lovely neighbours and the beach is just across the road. I would recommend the igloo to anyone and would defo come back Thank you for having us and thanks for posting us back our left items too!! Xx

Corinna2014-12-28T00:00:00Z

The igloo is very nice and it feels very rapidly at home. Our visit took place well and the nearby beach is absolutely beautiful. The advice in the book of the house proved handy for organizing our stay. The owner has ensured that at any time the stay was going well and we lacked nothing.

Stéphan2014-09-28T00:00:00Z

Highly recommend this place. Splendid location, beautifully designed beach themed interiors and clean. An excellent host, Desiree ensured we had a very comfortable stay. Can't ask for anything better, and would love to visit again.

Swati2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

This Igloo is just amazing!!! Desiree has thought of everything possible to make your stay perfect. The place is so lovely, beautiful and clean, more than big enough for us and the location is brilliant. 30 seconds from the beach, 5 minute drive to the big shopping plaza and 20 minutes from Cairns city centre. If you don't have a car, get the bus from the bus stop that is a 1 minute walk away, it's $4.50 for a one way ticket apposed to a $54 taxi fare. Thank you so much, I would stay again in a heartbeat, just perfect.

Roberto2017-01-06T00:00:00Z

Well furnished, spotless, and a great place to relax by the sea.

A little tropical oasis tucked away in an industrial part of town, 5 mins drive from CBD or 30/40min walk. Perfect for 2, comfortably sleeps 3. An open plan space separate from the main house & separate lounge area. Private side access. PLEASE NOTE: its not in the heart of CBD, I recommend you have a car. kitchenette is BASIC but all the essentials. Open plan space, The claw foot bath is in the middle of the room and the toilet is behind a 2 metre wall with a privacy screen. Its is unique.

Its just a unique space….please read details and look at photos. It is what it is...

Bungalow is a very unassuming neighbourhood. Its not the prettiest of neighbourhoods but it is very convenient to town. At one end of my street there is a quaint little community garden and at the other end there is a very reputable coffee house that supplies coffee to the local region, my second favourite coffee in Cairns. Food available too. PLEASE NOTE: This accommodation is not right in the heart of the CBD. The CBD is only 5 mins by car or $ 6-8 in an uber ride. Joe my car taker is an uber driver so can be of service any time for you.
My favourite Thai restaurant is a 4 min walk and there is a great cafe for breakfast/ lunch just a short drive or bike ride away.
During the day there can be some noise from nearby businesses, however not often and at random times albeit respectable times. The evenings are peaceful ( expect for the neighbourhood dogs that sometimes have a bark off )
Please note if planning a day trip, Cairns is approximately 3 hours from the Daintree, 1.15 hour to Port Douglas, 40 mins to Palm Cove. 50mins to Kuranda

This is the best airbnb place I have ever stayed at! Super cool, spacious, clean and with everything you could possibly need (comfy bed, pool, BBQ, kitchen, aircon, sitting areas). And if there is anything you're missing priscilla is the most accommodating hostess and will make sure you have the best stay. Highly recommend if you want an amazing stay in cairns!

Emma2015-01-10T00:00:00Z

Loved the house it was so relaxing. Me and my wife would definitely stay there again.

Andrew2017-06-16T00:00:00Z

Perfect spot for a getaway, just out of town though feels like you're in the daintree. Would absolutely recommend.

Evan2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

Hi Priscilla, Brittah and I wanted to thank you for letting us stay with you in your bungalow! It was truly magical! It was exposed to the elements in such an elegant way and it was very clean. The sounds of the jungle birds was a beautiful touch! We also thoroughly enjoyed the privacy as well! Until next time, cheers!

Leah2016-12-05T00:00:00Z

Loved this place, very cool and unique- great for a couple, would stay again!!

Benjamin2017-05-30T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow Priscilla. His welcome was very warm. The accommodation is very good when you have a car. Everything is done to feel good upon arrival: wood, decoration, birds singing, the need for early breakfasts with fruit basket. This is a nice touch! Our son loved his little mezzanine area. We highly recommend this accommodation for travelers looking to experience a bit of Cairns and its region from a nice, clean and comfortable base.

Colette2014-10-28T00:00:00Z

It was a wonderful stay, thanks a lot for everything

Rongkai2015-07-28T00:00:00Z

Beautiful bungalows full of life and character. This cosy little retreat was exactly what we needed after long busy days exploring the Great Barrier Reef. Priscilla was lovely and very attentive. Would highly recommend.

Self-managed apartment in the award winning Hibiscus Resort at bargain prices!! Central location! The resort has a beautiful Balinese look and is set in lush tropical gardens. Two large inviting pools with floating bean bags & pool-side lounges.

Just 100m walk to the shops on Macrossan St, 300m walk to the famous 4 mile beach & 300m walk to the marina!!
Our prices are a real bargain which is great for guests; and hopefully that will keep the unit close to fully occupied which is great for us.

Our unit is a fantastic place to unwind whether it is on our balcony, or in either of the beautiful resort salt-water pools. There are plenty of activities to keep you occupied too including reef trips, visiting the Daintree or Mossman Gorge, 4 mile beach, just to name a few.

Had a very pleasurable if too short a stay at Peter's place. I would describe the place as modern, compact (but plenty for what you want in accomodation) and convenient - close to town and the beach. The bed was comfortable and the shower clean, and plenty of pressure. The information provided by Peter was great - appreciated the welcome pack which lasted for the whole of my three day visit for me. Would recommend.

Dianne and Brian2016-06-03T00:00:00Z

Peter responded immediately and gave us plenty of information prior to arrival. The unit is lovely, cool and clean, and the location is great. Thank you

Peter's place was fantastic! Super close to town and 4 mile beach (walking about 3-5 minutes!) and great host. Great tips and super fast responses. Pool was very relaxing as well - resort stay without the price!

Jenny2016-11-08T00:00:00Z

My husband and I loved this cosy place! The location is perfect, the room is great and the building and pools are like a little oasis. Everything was easy and perfect. The host Peter is friendly and thorough in his communication. Our friends were staying at a big resort and were jealous of this place Highly recommend.

Kimberly2015-07-04T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay in Port Douglas at Peter's place! Peter was prompt to respond to any questions, and the apartment was in a superb location. Very clean, loved the pool area, all good things!

Bailey2015-02-23T00:00:00Z

Peters unit in the Hibiscus Resort was exactly what was described and perfect for the two of us. A couple of minutes walk to the heart of Port Douglas, the resort itself was clean, the pool's were great and the room itself was spot on - clean, plenty of room, and Peter was wonderful to deal with - well informed and always on hand to help if need be.

This part of the world is so beautiful, every day we feel blessed to live here. Even after work I can go to Port Douglas to shop, and instantly feel "on holidays" There's something about the ocean that does it . I go to Mossman Gorge whenever I can to be in the middle of the Daintree rain forest, its so restoring.

This was such a fabulous room at an amazing resort. Wendy & Roger were so easy to deal with, great communication. We went on holiday for my partners 60th birthday and we were greeted in our room to a 'happy birthday' banner, box of chocolates on the bed & a gateau cake in the fridge! Also other goodies in the fridge to get us started. It was so thoughtful and made our stay that little bit more special. I would highly recommend this place to anybody, location is perfect with beach an easy 4 min stroll. Wendy & Roger you are fabulous hosts, well done and thank you so much.

Carmel2016-05-13T00:00:00Z

This room was absolutely fabulous! Even better than described! Beautiful outlook onto the pool and very comfortable bed. Very clean and tidy as well. My partner and I don't eat dairy and Wendy kindly left some almond milk and dairy free butter in the fridge for us. Communications with the hosts from the beginning were always helpful and prompt. Such a wonderful destination and the room only added to the enjoyment of our holiday! I can't recommend this place enough!

Rhiannon2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

The listing was accurate and Rogder and Wendy were quick with communication. The unit was welcoming and comfortable and we loved the abuncance of towels, breakfast starter pack, chocolates and the free wifi. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Port Douglas. Thanks Wendy and Rodger.

Jeff2014-07-19T00:00:00Z

Fantastic stay

Tim2017-01-12T00:00:00Z

Absolutely amazing. Roger and Wendy were so accomodating and made sure that we had everything that we needed. We were provided with so much information and ideas as to what to do. The room was just amazing, looking directly over the pool was fantastic. Communication was so fast when getting in contact with them. Very highly recommended to anyone wanting to stay at this resort. Thank you so much guys :)

Ben2015-10-13T00:00:00Z

Yes very happy in all respects

David2015-11-03T00:00:00Z

We stayed for 3 nights at Wendýs Ramada accomodation. The room was perfectly clean, the resort display high standards amenities and we were welcome by Wendy which was very kind with us and brought us very appreciable food to get started!

Murray and Rhonda invited us to their lovely island and let us stay with them for two nights. Murray picked us up at the ferry station and despite we had to change our arrival time several times due to taking the wrong ferry we were heartily welcomed at their home. The room with ensuite bathroom was spacious and warm and in the evening they invited us to join them with their friends and BBQ some steaks. We laughed a lot and enjoyed the evening with them a lot. Thank you very much for this lovely evening!! During the day Murray let us use his car for 60$ which is just perfect because you don't loose any time picking it up or dropping it of.

Julian2015-08-02T00:00:00Z

I had the best intro to Magnetic Island with Rhonda and Murray. We had long discussions on the joys and limits of island life as i also live on an island. I had a large comfortable room in their house which is surrounded by lush tropical garden. I loved my time with them. I feel i have made new friends, what more can i say?

Julie And Denis2015-10-19T00:00:00Z

Rhonda and Murray are great hosts, they were very knowledgeable on what to do/ where to go on the island. The house and room was immaculate and they treat you like close friends, playing pool with Murray was good fun. Great facilities, pool, BBQ, kitchen etc. Couldn't have wished for a nicer stay. Thanks

Josh2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic day with Murray and Rhonda, who really went above and beyond what is expected as hosts. Firstly, they collected and dropped us off from/at the ferry terminal on arrival/departure which was super helpful! The house is lovely, the room very clean with a great en suit bathroom with great shower, TV and air con. We were provided breakfast and tea/coffee every morning, were able to use the swimming pool and provided with lots of helpful information on the area/local amenities. Murray and Rhonda are really lovely, friendly and chatty, we enjoyed getting to know them. We would most defiantly recommend stay at their lovely home!

Lauren2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

A pretty peaceful spot in a quiet corner of a lovely little island. The garden is awesome, and we did see the koala. The nearby hike up to Hawkings lookout was marvellous. Murray and Rhonda were helpful with local knowledge, pick-up, and being welcoming hosts. Our only difficulty was that we found the bed uncomfortable. We sleep better on/in natural fibres. Also, the mattress was saggy, and the bedbase has a hard ridge pushing up through the middle. After the first night, Rhonda upgraded our sheets (higher cotton content) and this did help some. A couple of feather pillows and a cotton blanket would make all the difference to this jewel of a place! If you don't mind polyester pillows, sheets, duvet, and you prefer nature to nightlife, this may well be the place for you.

Jenni2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

The best place to stay on magnetic island! Everything was perfect (the service, bed, cleanliness,...)

Anna 2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

Murray and Rhonda made a trip to magnetic island unforgettable! Their house is located conveniently near the Island bus route, a bar, bottle shop, and Italian restaurant. The place was quite clean and cozy. We spent many hours in the outdoor area near the pool conversing with other guests as well as the hosts. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful! Murray and Rhonda gave us great tips on where to see local wildlife including koalas and rock wallabies. We even spied some humpback whales during our stay. The island is a little slice of paradise in Oz. We would highly recommend this place to anyone interested in visiting "Maggie". Thanks so much Murray and Rhonda!!

Matt2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Magnetic island would not be the same without our stay at Murrays and Rhondas house. Besides a Good breakfast, a bed like in heaven and a swimming pool with Spa that let you forget all your problems are Murray and Rhonda itself. Seldom met so lovely people - hope I can visit them soon again.

We have a very family orientated neighbourhood so please drive slowly there are lots of children and pets around.

Self contained unit was neat and well equipped. Gavin and Lorelle were ideal, helpful hosts. We enjoyed our five night stay and would recommend their place by the shore.

Cliff2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

This has been my favorite airbnb experience to date, and if I were with my boyfriend, I'm confident he would agree. You can expect a warm welcome from a wonderful young family and pets. Your very private space by the water, and all amenities that you may need. Gavin and Lorelle recently decided to have instant booking, and thank goodness they did, because my boyfriend and I would have slept in the car otherwise. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality, and I hope we cross paths again! P.S. we loved the pressure of your shower!

Katherine2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

Gavin and Lorelle were fantastic hosts. Even though we arrived late in the evening they both welcomed us with milk and bread for breakfast.

Oliver2016-06-15T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed meeting Tara. She was very welcoming. The out door sitting area is lovely. The beach lovelier still. The cabin spotless and perfect for our stay.

DAWN2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

Lorelle is really friendly. Located at the end of the street. Large property for my little pooch to run around in. Right on the beach. I just stayed 1 night for transit. If im in the area again, i will definitely book this place again. Thank you for having me.

Jas2017-03-09T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay and would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Mackay Region. Everything as advertised. No complaints! Lorelle and Gavin are very friendly hosts.

Guido2017-01-13T00:00:00Z

It's a cozy studio in a very peaceful location with own carpark. It further has a beautiful outdoor area ideal for breakfast. The host was very easy to communicate with and helpful with everything. We truely enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the studio.

Barbara & Jonathan2017-01-17T00:00:00Z

Very nice studio to stay there for a holiday!! You have everything what you need!! Its just everything there from the washingmachine till a fully equipt kitchen! Gavin and lorelle are great hosts! Thank you

We stayed at Sven's for one night only, and it was a last minute request when I realised I had missed a nights accommodation on our itinerary! Sven responded immediately and was extremely helpful and friendly. The apartment was perfect for a comfortable stay, with helpful little extras like water, milk, tea, coffee etc. The complex is lovely, pool and BBQ area is beautiful and shaded for the hot Port Douglas weather. Apartment extremely clean and very central/close to Port Douglas main street. I would highly recommend a stay at Sven's apartment, 5 stars all round. Thanks, Morgan

Morgan2017-02-15T00:00:00Z

Sven was very accomodating, allowing us to check in early and had everything ready to go. Apartment is spacious and beautifully decorated - very tropical, and had everything we needed. Everything was beautifully clean and well equipped and although we had no problems we felt that Sven was there to help us had any arisen. Really enjoyed out stay here, was great value for money and would certainly reccomend to others!

Jamie2016-01-15T00:00:00Z

Sven met us upon arrival and provided a brief overview of the property. We enjoyed our 2 night stay there. The place was very clean and we cooked 3 meals in the kitchen, and even used the oven. The en suite washer/dryer was especially handy! I would recommend having a car for regular access to Port Douglas, but it is a 20-30 minute walk to center of town. While there, we visited Mosman Gorge, took a Daintree River cruise, visited the netted beach area and went snorkeling on the reef. We packed in a lot in our two days before heading to Yungabarra to see the Tablelands. Sven's place provided a great launching point for our stay in Port Douglas.

Evan2016-05-27T00:00:00Z

Nice, tidy, clean, comfortable apartment. Reasonable walk to town (20 mins) but car desirable. Resort pool is nice although a bit chilly for us! Amenities (especially the fully equipped kitchen) were excellent. Sven was tied up with work so we never actually met, and we missed out on some little bits of info which may have made the stay even better. Great holiday at Sven's apartment! Port Douglas is really nice, although after 12 days in the one spot we were were running out of excursions and activities - a week there and a week in Cairns may have been better scheduling.

Phil2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

When we booked our one month trip to Port Douglas we were looking for a home away from home with all the small comforts that one might need. Well that is exactly what we got, we were extremely pleased with the apartment and the hosts. We highly recommend it! Thank you Sven and Annie for a comfortable and memorable stay.

Maria2016-05-21T00:00:00Z

Sven was attentive prior to arrival and checked in during our stay to ensure we were happy with the accommodation. He also made sure we had plenty of amenities and enquired if we needed any extras. The location was close to every thing and the resort was lovely inside and out. It was very clean & all those little extras were provided to make our stay enjoyable. Would definitely stay with Sven again and highly recommend his apartment. Markham

The gardens are so beautiful with typical rainforest vegetation a natural pool and tea house with use of the BBQ.there is a creek at the end of the 2.5 acre garden whith turtles and an elusive platypus. The suite was beautiful immaculately clean with a magical tropical bathroom which felt as if it was in the garden. It was about 30 minutes outside Cairns in a lovely wooded valley yet convenient to the airport. Sandra and John are the perfect hosts thoughtful and helpful but not intrusive.Sandra had stocked the kitchen with perfect food and drinks,and we were able to pick grapefruit lemonade lemons and star fruit from the trees in the garden. One of the nicest things was the free range chickens who roost in the trees in front of our room at night cooing and clucking softly. A wonderful place with wonderful hosts

We really enjoyed our stay with Sandra. We were made to feel welcome and loved the location. Birds, butterflies and platypus kept us company in the lovely location.

Tim2015-08-23T00:00:00Z

A beautifull spot, not far away from Cairns. I can certainly recommend it. Sandra and Johns make you directly feel at home. The pool is great, the BBQ huge and the view amazing. Don't forget to feed the 'wild' turtles.

Kris2014-12-12T00:00:00Z

Sandra and John have a beautiful home- very tastefully decorated. Fridge was stocked with everything needed for making a full English breakfast. The only downside was that the wifi would only work for short periods of time. This was frustrating for us as we were trying to make future bookings. But Sandra was very nice and let us use her phone to make our arrangements. Great hosts, great spot.

Milda2016-03-02T00:00:00Z

We had a nice stay at Sandra's airbnb in a quiet place outside of Cairns close to the Crystal Cascades! Nice room, we were able to use laundry facilities and BBQ, and Sandra is a very nice host!

Tom2016-11-28T00:00:00Z

Beautiful stay, clean, tidy spacious 1 bedroom apartment with stunning garden and wildlife spots. Sandra and John are wonderful hosts, I highly recommend staying at one of their places. Sipping grapefruit (homegrown) and vodka whilst watching the special wildlife at the bottom of the garden by the stream was definitely a highlight for me! Thank you both for a fab stay :)

It is "the Hacienda" in tropical Port Douglas , the perfect zen !
Use of private pool. No access to other rooms including main kitchen. However room has barfridge toaster and kettle. Also tv.
Beautiful , quiet feels like paradise.
Bus stop within 50m , beach 150m , restaurant 50m , pizza bar and fish n chip shop 50m.
As this is my residence I am happy to assist guests with their needs for local advice on where to go and what to do :-)

Beautiful surroundings , quiet feels like paradise.
Great restaurant/bar across the road with sand in the floor and shoes are optional !
Just down the street is a local fish and chip shop for snacks and a bottleshop for supplies.
Also a coffee shop for a larger breakfast.
Stroll down to the beach , if your feeling energetic , a 40 min walk along beach will get you to town.

Good value place to stay with a great host in a handy location. Get info from locals and feel slightly apart from all the tourists!

Catherine2017-01-27T00:00:00Z

Jon is a wonderful host with a beautiful and perfectly located place that is exactly as pictured and described. The hacienda is awesome. Both Jon and Batdog were warm and friendly. Jon made everything so easy and gave great tips. Loved being able to walk to the gorgeous 4 mile beach in only a couple minutes. Would definitely recommend this spot!

Shadan2016-12-21T00:00:00Z

Jon and Batdog are a couple of awesome mates. My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at his wonderful house. He provided nice coffee and breakfast goodies for the mornings and made the place very homey. Batdog is a great guard dog and will greet you kindly upon entering. Overall great experience and I would stay there again next time!

Karl2016-05-02T00:00:00Z

Jon and Batdog made us feel very much at home. The neighbourhood was quiet and peaceful. The surroundings were perfect with plenty of parking and close to the beach.

Ruby2015-06-30T00:00:00Z

The room is nice and comfy, very friendly host and super friendly dog. Happy to stay here whenever I'm in Port Douglas for work.

Susan2015-05-04T00:00:00Z

I had the most wonderful stay in Jon's idyllic tropical retreat! Thoroughly recommended to all! Jon is really easygoing and welcoming and gave me all kinds of useful local information about where to eat and where to visit, and I very much enjoyed chatting with him as well, he is very friendly and interesting to talk with. (Bat dog is very friendly too!) the room is immaculate, spacious and comfortable, with everything you could need, from tea and coffee to beach towels. And there is a glorious pool for a dip at the end of the day just outside your door! I loved every minute of my stay with Jon, he is a great Airb&b host!

Anne2015-03-03T00:00:00Z

We chose this facility because of its colorful photograph of Jono's own-built residence. Our host and his very passive dog, provided us with everything that we requested making it a very enjoyable place to stay - but being 4km from the main street of Port Douglas, a car is an essential; there are shuttle buses that frequent Barrier Street for $5 per trip ($9 return); also a door-to-door service is available from Cairns Airport. This was our 9th AirBnB stay from around the world and if you have transport covered, it rated in the top quartile for our needs

Bruce2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

Staying with Jon & Batdog was a pleasure. The location was perfect, close enough to town to make it easily accessible, yet still quiet & secluded. The room was spacious & well equipped, including a small bar fridge so we could keep food & drinks cool. Jon is easygoing and knowledgeable about the area. Walter & I took his recommendation about which tour company to use for our snorkeling adventure & it was fantastic! Overall, we had a terrific time in Port Douglas, thanks in large part to Jon & Batdog's hospitality! We would highly recommend staying with Jon if traveling through the area!

Anna2014-11-18T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Hamilton Island and the condo is as pictured and had a beautiful balcony view. The buggy included was a nice addition and helpful for getting around the island. The condo is located right by the marina where there are lots of shops and restaurants. Glenn and & Caz were very responsive and great hosts. I would definitely recommend staying here for your trip to the Whitsundays!

Samantha2016-05-13T00:00:00Z

Clean appartement, helpful host, great view. Personal pick- up from the airport plus a private buggy for the whole stay was very much appreciated. Some basic stuff we were missing in the appartement, but placed this with the host and i'm sure this will be solved for the next people there to stay.

Livia2017-03-03T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic holiday at Glenn's place! Our family of 7, all agreed that this was the best trip we have ever taken together. We were so happy with our decision to stay here, rather than at one of the resorts. The location is perfect, with an absolutely incredible view! We loved having our own space, with a kitchen, washer/and 2 dryers, (very handy for wet pool towels), a buggy to use, but while still having access to the main pool, most resort facilities, and island activities. On such a small island, everything is fairly close, but anything we needed from the island market was a short 5 min drive by buggy. We barbecued, and had dinner on the deck at sunset. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing, and fun holiday. It was also so nice to be greeted at the airport, with the key to the buggy, and our luggage delivered for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Emily2017-07-18T00:00:00Z

Had a great time! Love Hamilton island. Photos accurately represent the apartment. The buggy is awesome value

Jamilee2016-10-20T00:00:00Z

This was a terrific apartment with wonderful views from the balconies and everything was clean and well laid out as pictured. We had a relaxing time enjoying the islands, hanging out at the beach and in the pools, and reading on the stunning deck. The location was central and gave easy access to the marina and the resort area. Driving the buggy is necessary, but everything is pretty much 5 minutes or less away. One thing to note if you're not reading the listing carefully is that there is no wifi. We were from overseas so did not have data plans on our phones, which meant we spent some time online in the marina and resort areas. This wasn't really an issue for us because it helped us relax and have a real holiday! Glenn and his team were very responsive to emails. We would definitely come back.

Hannah2016-05-21T00:00:00Z

We had a brilliant time at Compass Point 5 in this very spacious and comfortable apartment. Beautiful views just like the pictures. Luckily there was no damage after recent cyclone and the resort is quickly returning to its former glory. Buggy is essential to get around the island without breaking a sweat and location is perfect. We would happily stay here again!

Riwka2017-04-18T00:00:00Z

Fantastic location with a grand view of the sunset. The accommodation did not disappoint although the golf buggy is a bit tired. Apartment and bedding were clean and comfortable.Bring your own speakers if you like music. The hosts provided excellent communication and the airport pick up/drop off was seamless. Thanks for the hospitality

The apartment has wonderful character whilst providing the luxuries of contemporary tropical living with a generous queen sized bedroom overlooking the lap pool and deck. Private bathroom facilities and spacious living room. Outdoor tropical kitchen.

Our Birdwing apartment allows you to relax and enjoy the tranquil surrounds of our unique blend of rainforest views and contemporary decor. It has a cosy homely feel, perfect for experiencing and enjoying the warm climate of Far North Queensland.

Edge Hill has long been known as the premier suburb of Cairns. We are surrounded by the picturesque Whitfield range, Botanic Gardens, Centenary Lakes, Red & Blue Arrow walking tracks, and Tanks Art Centre. By staying here you allow yourself a snapshot of the beautiful tropics. An easy stroll to the Edge Hill "Hub" where you will find some of the best Cafe's, Restaurants, and fashion shops and more.

What a great place to stay, we chose Birdwing apartment following much consideration to the apartment and its location, Botanical Gardens right there, Airport and City Centre very close. As we always visit both gardens this really worked for us and having some of the local birdlife visiting Judi & Wayne’s garden added to the visit. There are some great little eating establishments within easy stroll. Thank you Judi for your prompt communications and meeting with us on our arrival, we enjoyed the times we could chat with both of you Thank you Ann & Selwyn

Selwyn2016-08-04T00:00:00Z

Wayne and Judi were fantastic hosts. The accommodation was outstanding, luxurious, clean, spacious, private. We were very happy with it. It certainly made our trip special and hassle free. It is right next to the botanical garden with a bus stop right outside within a minute or two walking distance. There were also good restaurants near by within walking distance without having to go to Cairns city. All in all, couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

Elaine2016-04-26T00:00:00Z

This is definitely the best place to stay in Cairns: a luxurious home with lots of space and expensive furnishings, not to mention the fabulous deck with lap pool. In addition Judi and Wayne are wonderful hosts, going out of their way to make our stay truly memorable (albeit much too short.....).

Marianne2016-10-21T00:00:00Z

Thanks Judy and Wayne!!!!! Awesome hosts. We had a great stay in Cairns, almost in the botanical garden. Everything was perfekt..... ! I've we come back to Cairns, we will visit Judy, Wayne and murph Again. Wish you a happy new year

Annett2016-12-16T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing stay with Judi and Wayne. The house itself is incredible, with hardwood floors throughout, custom finishes, and very spacious. It was amazing to have the entire floor to ourselves with a private entrance, living area, bedroom, and bathroom all to ourselves. With the luxurious tile swimming pool, it really felt like our own private south Pacific villa! The house is even more beautiful than the photos. Besides the room itself, Judi and Wayne were great hosts. Very friendly, interesting conversation, and even shared some of their fruit and veggies (lemons, limes, mangos, peppers) grown in the yard. They gave us great tips for local walks, activities, restaurants, and even where we could see some wild kangaroos--we almost left Australia without seeing one if not for Judi! The location is nice, just a short drive into the city and away from all the nose. Just across the street from the botanical gardens, which is great for a walk. Overall, one of the best Airbnb stays we have ever had and I strongly recommend a stay here!

Will2016-01-12T00:00:00Z

Our 4 night stay was great! Judi and Wayne were ready for us when we got there and the apartment was clean, with snacks in the fridge, plenty of towels, and an umbrella in the closet. The bed was comfortable and the patio was extremely relaxing and cozy. The bathroom was very clean and super nice! It was rainy and humid for most of our visit, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable. The house is very close the airport (>10 minutes, $19 cab ride) and right by the botanical gardens which were absolutely beautiful! There are several restaurants down the street and a grocery store that is open every day. Judi and Wayne were very friendly and had lots of great stories and input about what to do in town. All in all: the location was perfect, it was very clean and cozy, Judi and Wayne are great people, and the WiFi was fast. The apartment is so much nicer than any hotel you could stay in and is incredibly affordable. We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Cairns, whether for a short or long stay.

Savannah2016-05-26T00:00:00Z

Judy and Wayne's apartment is more than we expected, spacious, spotless and thoughtfully appointed. Judy and Wayne are most accommodating and friendly hosts. The apartment is very well placed opposite the beautiful botanical gardens and close to cafes and a small shopping centre and well placed for air travellers. We loved our stay here and highly recommend this apartment to others.

John2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

Wayne and Judi were responsive and accommodating, even waiting up after 10pm to let us in after our flight was delayed. The apartment was immaculate and beautifully presented, every mod con and luxury you could want was provided. The apartment was in a fantastic location, close to Edge Hill restaurants (5 mins walk), 10 mins taxi from the airport and a nice walk into Cairns city along the esplanade (1 hour).

Welcome to your completely private, spacious, modern and spotlessly clean garden studio in prestigious Edge Hill.
Enjoy the large swimming pool, free Wi-Fi, bicycles, Apple TV and Netflix!
There are nearby cafes, take-away places and restaurants. It is walking distance to the Botanic Gardens, shops and major walking trails. There are regular buses into town, or take an Uber from the airport, or into town for about $12.

This large, non-smoking garden studio is completely private. You have a separate entrance and your own patio space. It is close to the airport and within easy access north to Port Douglas and The Daintree. There is off-street parking.
The studio is large with a living space, kitchenette, dining area, comfortable lounge and Queen-sized bed. The couch opens to a full size single bed plus there is a single fold-out bed suitable for a small child.
There is a big separate bathroom, .
The kitchenette comes with microwave, fridge, electric fry pan, rice cooker, toaster and kettle, as well as cooking utensils, crockery, glasses and cutlery. There is no stove or kitchen sink.
You will sleep in a comfy Queen-sized bed with side tables and bedside lamps, with clean sheets, duvet covers (and duvets in the colder months), plus towels. Everything is freshly laundered for you.
It's an easy 10 minute bicycle ride to the START of The Esplanade that has a bicycle track all the way into town. There are bicycles for your use, including locks and helmets. They are for guests, not friends of guests.
There is a large salt water pool you can enjoy any time until 10pm, again for guests, not friends of guests.
There is a digital TV, DVD player and a selection of DVDs, plus HDMI cable for watching your own stuff from your laptop. And now, there is Apple TV and Netflix. Sign in as Guest 1.
This meticulously clean apartment is a lovely private space, suitable for 1, 2, or 3 people, who want peace and quiet in a tranquil setting during their stay in Cairns.
If you want to party, this is not the space for you. It is a quiet, safe neighbourhood, 5 kms from the centre of town.

Edge Hill is quiet and close to the Tanks Arts Centre and Botanic Gardens, and a 10 minute drive into town. It is the most up-market area in Cairns. There is a large supermarket and chemist less than 2 kms away, and a small grocer, bottle shop, great shoe shop and 4 excellent cafes within walking distance. It is too far to walk into town.

Trisha's flat was absolutely lovely. I totally was able to make myself at home. Here are what I personally loved about her place. 1. The saltwater pool : the humidity of Cairns weather during summer(mid Jan) was beyond my imagination. It was quite hard to walk around for long in the afternoon. On a very hot/humid day we stayed home just chilling at the pool, and it was just fun and relaxing. 2. The two bikes : although the weather was too hot and humid for us to bike around the city as much as we wanted, having a bike makes things better. I saw lots of people go on an early morning biking instead of afternoon. I tried biking in the morning too, and it was one of the freshest feeling. If the weather had been better, the bikes would have been more perfect in a lot of ways. 3. Quiet, peaceful neighborhood and a gorgeous neighbor : Edge hill was such a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. I've realized this even more when I was staying in another Airbnb in Sydney. If you want a tranquil lone time with some awesome nature views (trees, clouds and stuff), you will love it. And there is this gorgeous lady Katie who lives next door. She works at a tourist information center and she's just gorgeous. I highly recommend getting help from her for the Great Barrier Reef tour. And things i think you need to consider before booking are: 1. It was not as close to Esplanade/Cairns city centre as I imagined. The bike ride took longer than 15min. It took us almost 30-40min depending on how hot/humid it was, and how tired we got from biking in that humidity. 2. Since it's far from the city centre, if you want to hang out till late you might want to consider other places located near Esplanade. It would save you time and energy. We didn't mind though cuz we didnt mind staying home from dinner time.

Bora2015-01-23T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay in edge hill. The studio was great, very spacious, clean and homely. 2 minute walk to the bus stop to get into town. Trisha also let us use bicycles which was so useful! Trisha is a great host its evident she put a lot of effort into making sure we had the best stay! Would definitely recommend staying here!

Katie2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

Trasha is so nice.She provided us many good suggestions.Highly recommend this house to everybody.

舒娅2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

Trisha's granny flat is the perfect base for exploring Cairns. It's in a lovely quiet suburb with a bus stop nearby. We arrived really late and Trisha was kind enough to leave the lights on for us and sent directions of how to get there and into the house. It has everything you need for a stay, and the pool was a welcome retreat after a long day on the reef on a boat with lots of others!

Oli2014-01-22T00:00:00Z

This is a wonderful experience to me for staying in Trisha's apartment!! Trisha is a very nice holder and she love to help you if you indeed. The room clear and big, there also hv swimming pool !! Thank you so much xxx

I stayed in Perth, Cairns We are on the verge of coming Direct flight heading to Cairns as it was twisted from then on be canceled. Direct flight as Lord and your concern may be a situation to go back in the day I sent a message to trisha, gave a very kind offer. Before meeting felt that she was someone gave me. We have to have a minimum of a canceled flight and important day of this trip (Could you suggest another flight or the company's flight has to be replaced.) Learn fast flight of another company that can go as fast as possible To evaluate the situation. Check out eventually arrived in the morning hours of 11 municipal could not hardly even close dialogue with our trisha too tired. Too tired to sleep, when for the first time and spent unprecedented therefore stayed in this spirit, almost did not share the conversation no much time left in Cairns. Nevertheless, she was caring overflows that can help you feel good people. Day and a half I was directed to another hostel in Cairns behind the other hostel host was acting like a strange person in many ways since the character. I went because we did not feel right to reserve the house is also the house that can be used to hold the entire house was a place where I knew I was different from the reservation and information sharing, such as a bathroom or any other place in the bathroom or toilet to knock surprise surprise surprise had to be. Room door was not locked and put air conditioning also opens the door to unprecedented hot because I was able to witness all passing by. When I say to the host for this part of the house, how jotnya formula and flew only answer to terrify the host of the house that others. That is how this looked awfully chyeodae Asked collector Billy felt that what we're up to the threat of personal. My husband attended a lot of traveling, I've met a nice guy but fortunately so far met for the first time knowledge with others. The count of people who experienced the situation heard louder than words. Then remember that time we had a warm proposed trisha Looked at her. She gave us a warm right Gave it up. I was so grateful memory was too. She was warm. She is a good person too. It was not possible to offset the two kinds of Cairns is a great experience, thanks to her. She eotneunde two to focus their part because too good Of course, good accommodation over too. Is much better than pictures were great and pleasant environment than the pool also pictures. Her precious space seems to me that we were able to spend a relaxing and gave valuable time to create more beautiful time in Cairns. The best people we met on Airbnb, trisha ... Seems to never forget her. Her compassion, goodwill, Both will not forget. If by any chance she came to Korea, so we have a very large house and villas come with us to redistribute. She will be missed. Share to say thank you again too ....

Eun Mi2015-01-28T00:00:00Z

Trisha is a fantastic host, likeable, polite and helpful, during our stay she was really caring about us and our last day she offered herself to take us to the airport avoiding to pay a taxi. The home was extremely clean and provided with any comfort (barbecue and bikes included), the spaces pretty wides to remain there for weeks without any sort of problem. The position is perfect, the promenade is just at 10 mins. by bike. Absolutely recommended!! 10 e lode/ A+!! P.s. Her dog, Teddy is so sweet and tender and he even smells like chocolate! :-D

Chiara2014-08-22T00:00:00Z

I had a wonderful time at the granny flat. It was very comfortable, tidy and clean. Although I did not met Trisha in person she was a very welcoming and helpful host with everything. And besides the pool is absolutely awesome. One week in Cairns I will never forget. Thank you for everything Trisha.

If you are looking for a sweet rest, you must stay here. This place is just perfect to make you feel relaxed and peaceful. It's not the closest place to the city center but quit easy to get there for all your needs.

Hyejin2016-02-28T00:00:00Z

Trisha was an amazing host with an amazing property! Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of central Cairns but close enough to everything you could possibly need! Would stay here again in a heartbeat if ever in this part of the world again. Trisha has a diary full of suggestions from other guests who have stayed with her, ours are also in there!

I did not meet Trisha until the following day of my arrival as she had only returned that day from an overseas trip however, she did email clear details of how to access the accommodation. The accommodation suited my needs perfectly and was spotlessly clean and well presented. It contained all I needed with a comfortable bed. The apartment is close to shops,restaurants and public transport if needed. There was a useful folder in the studio providing information on places to eat or visit.

The Red Door Studio is so much more than the photo shows. Beautiful location, patio, beautiful bathroom with a big tub to relax and chill out in. It's a short walk to restaurants, a bakery, and grocery store. The bus stop to Esplanade and night market is even a shorter walk. Trisha was very helpful when we missed picking up our rental car; turning a frustrating situation into a fun night. We rode the push bikes a short way to the grocery store and restaurant for dinner. We spotted a bakery to try out the next morning. Delicious! We highly recommend staying here!

The red door apartment was really nice and comfy. Easy to find the studio flat has a store only 5 minutes by bike. It is clean and has got air-con. Tricia was not available but she sent us a message before leaving with the information required in order to enter the flat. We used the bike that Tricia has available and the swimming pool was great for a quick deep. We didn't spend much time in the house, but we had problems with the wifi and it was a bit upsetting as after a long trip ( 30 hours) we had to update our families and reassuring them we were OK. Tricia left a book that is very useful with bus timetables, suggestions, map and the Internet login information ( there are 4 networks appearing though not one as mentioned in the book). I would stay again and I would advise other people to stay as well but make sure you have mobile data available!

Desiree2016-03-22T00:00:00Z

A wonderful stay, a wonderful room and a very wonderful host!! Good advice and tips for everything we want to plan! A pleasure to discuss with and a room as conform as described.. we highly recommend it! Thanks a lot and take great care of you;)

Marine2016-09-16T00:00:00Z

The Red Door Apartment is a very nice location situated between the city and airport of Cains. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood close to the Botanic Garden. We appreciated very much the friendly support by Trisha, her helpful informations and her right away responses to our questions.

An apartment close to the city (3 blocks from the central city) with pool in the facility. This is my home so it has that feel and I'm a functional self aware nerd so there is WiFi and other little knick knacks that make life more fun.

There are some books if you are interested in having a down day reading and there is a decent kitchen for food. The apartment is close to almost everything in Cairns city so walking is almost all you'll need.

Cairns city is a cool little place. It's got everything from decadent indulgence to schooners with tradesmen in a local pub and everything in between. That's why I love it and I think you will too.

Joe's apartment is really nice and modern. He wasn't there so we shared the kitchen and living room with other guys. He told us by email how to get into the house, and it was very easy. The guest's room and bathroom are really tidy and clean. We met his mother, what a lovely person! We highly recommend to stay here.

Tommaso & Dragana2015-12-03T00:00:00Z

Nice apartment, well furnished. Very pleasant stay. Followed Joe's directions exactly to get in, and although a bit complex, they worked. A young couple from South Africa had the other room. Never saw Joe.

Sam2015-09-10T00:00:00Z

Staying at Joe's place was great - so great we decided to stay a week! Clean, comfortable, ideally located near the esplanade and the grocery store, and well equipped with everything we needed to cook for ourselves!

Susannah2014-07-02T00:00:00Z

The apartment is very well fitted out, especially for business travelers. It is comfortable, clean, quiet and well situated close to shops and the CBD. I will stay here again.

Tycho2015-06-17T00:00:00Z

Lovely stay at this fantastic apartment. It was really clean and comfortable and really well located for everything. We had a great time and although we did not meet joe in person,he was always quick to respond to any messages.

Andrea2015-11-18T00:00:00Z

Joe was a great host. He replied to all our messages quickly and checking in and out was super easy. The apartment is clean and near downtown (10-15 min walk).

We had a fantastic time at 21 Lake Street- the apartment is spacious and beautifully decorated and very close to all the activities and tour centres in Cairns. We felt very welcome and our host arranged airport transfers for us as well. Highly recommended!

Hanine2015-04-18T00:00:00Z

This was my 3rd. visit to Cairns. My 1st. time staying at 210 Lake St. Andrea met me at the apartment as arranged and showed me around. As she was going away for a few days, she gave me alternative contact information should I need it ( which I didn't ) and even texted me just to confirm everything was ok.

George2015-08-24T00:00:00Z

Andrea made us feel so welcome. The property was exactly like pictured on the website and the location was so great, close to the cbd and more importantly the water.

Brady2015-08-10T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Andrea could not have been better! The apartment was as described, and it was actually bigger than I had anticipated. It was immaculately clean and had couldn't fault the facilities. In the lead up to our stay, Andrea was very friendly and responsive to any queries, and although she was unable to meet us herself, she arranged for her delightful friend Brian to meet us at the apartment late in the evening. We even had to delay turning up by one day as our original flight was cancelled, Andrea and Brian took it Ali their stride and welcomed us a day late. It is a huge shame that we missed a day, and could have easily stayed a good few nights extra. The apartment has friendly reception staff (although nothing to do with Andrea's apartment itself) and directed us to the local convenience store. The pool was good for both lounging and lap swimming, but could have done with a bit of a clean. It is located about 10 minutes from the esplanade with many restaurants and shops. We didn' t have a car for the first couple of days, and didn't feel we need one for local exploring, or to get to the harbour for boat excursions etc. However, when we did pick up our hire car the use of the free parking space at the apartment was easy to get to and very handy. I would whole heartedly recommend Andrea's place, and would definitely revisit if (and when!) I'm lucky enough to swing by Cairns again.

Sophie2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

The apartment was spacious and had all the facilities needed to make our stay a joy. Andrea was also very quick to respond to any queries. Also was allowed a late checkout! Would stay here again

Bob2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Andrea gave us a very warm welcome and personally explained everything, including shopping and tours. We have a folder with all possible routes found that we were very relieved their planning. She also has a discount for a tour promoter, we could avail. He has everything ehr works well and we can recommend this apartment to anyone.

Rolf2016-11-01T00:00:00Z

Had a fantastic stay here, great location, clean apartment, fantastic view and variety of amenities available. Stay here if you get the chance! Thankyou Andrea!

Maria and her husband were great! We had an early flight into Cairns and she was fine with us arriving a little earlier than the listed check in time. They came in everyday while we were out and restocked our breakfast items and even made up our bed. They were wonderful hosts and made us feel right at home. If we're ever back in the Port Douglas area we will definitely stay at Paradisa Villa again.

Marisa2016-01-29T00:00:00Z

This villa is in a beautiful tranquil setting with secluded pool and garden. The villa was very well maintained and had everything we needed set in a fabulous location a short stroll from the beautiful beach and short drive from Port Douglas. It was a great base from which to explore the barrier reef, Daintree Forrest and other must see excursions. The breakfast was fantastic and it was lovely to relax on the terrace in such a perfect setting. Maria was really helpful with excellent suggestions that made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this villa which exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday Keri and Daryl blackpool

Daryl2016-12-23T00:00:00Z

Maria greeted us with a warm and friendly smile on arrival and set the scene for what was to be a great stay in Port Douglas at Paradise Villa. Maria provided some great dining tips and even offered to drive us into town. The Villa and pool were lovely and clean, and in between sight seeing we we enjoyed relaxing in them both. Would highly recommend a visit and would love to come back... book early to avoid disappointment!

Daniel2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

Absolutely fantastic place to stay in Port Douglas. Very close to everything yet tucked away to feel like you're staying in your own abode in the countryside. Beautiful room and pool with great privacy and very friendly/attentive hosts. Highly recommended.

Matt2016-03-18T00:00:00Z

Maria and Bary's place is beautiful! It's in a great location right on the beach and has a beautiful salt water pool. The room is quiet and private with a very comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Our bed was made and fresh towels were provided every day. Staying here was much better experience than the hotels in town.

Nick2014-01-29T00:00:00Z

What a great experience. Maria greeted us as we arrived and instantly made us feel welcome. I have to admit that I didn't remember all of the features listed online but, wow, what a beautiful home! The open and airy space, the pool, the bowl of fruit and well-stocked fridge.... were a delight. The neighborhood is clean, safe and quiet. The Paradise Is just a very short walk to the beach which is far less crowded than further up in town. It is a reletively short drive into the "bustling" Port Douglas town center and that's how we like it, quiet. Parking is right on the property and a shuttle bus runs through town. Two restaurants are just up the street and we went to the one with sand on the floor (sorry, can't remember the name) twice. We would definitely recommend The Paradise to anyone looking for a quiet, hideaway stay.

David2014-11-02T00:00:00Z

Paradise Villa provides a lovely retreat, away from the crowds. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the pool is very enjoyable, and Maria provides just the right amount of contact and support.

Fiona2015-06-13T00:00:00Z

Brilliant! Excellent hosts who make you very welcome, provide great advice and keep out of your way! Great location close to the quiet end of 4 Mile Beach, tavern, Beach Shack Restaurant, great coffee at Sea Temple, Rasa Asian restaurant, shops and shuttle bus! Really good value- thanks Maria.

A s/c space with a beautiful open light filled room overlooking lush tropical rainforest gardens in a small beach village. Just 15 mins from Cairns and a short stroll to the beach. Enjoy an idyllic indoor/outdoor tropical lifestyle cooled by sea breezes, with balmy nights and the delightful option of showering under the giant fishtail palm!

Enjoy a s/c living space, with more privacy than a private room - with its own separate entrance, kitchenette, a semi ensuite (dual entry), and a beautiful tropical verandah for relaxing and dining just outside your door !
The verenda is part of my home which gets closed off for guests to enjoy the tropical ambience in a private space.
A complimentary breakfast is offered on the first morning of your stay for enjoyment either on the verandah or in any of the garden settings
Your accommodation provides a very comfortable Q/S bed furnished with pure cotton bedding and towels.
The kitchenette provides a kettle, microwave and your own small fridge. There is a sink area for washing up. I offer a small portable gas cooker which can be utilised outside by the pond for cooking a meal if you desire.
The verandah is furnished with a large dining table and lounge for general use. An additional smaller dining area is situated just below in the garden which is lit up at night when in use.
The bathroom, which is shared with myself, is a dual entry semi-ensuite with your own entrance just outside your room door. I enter from within the house. The facilities include the toilette, bathing tub and shower.
An alternative and uniquely tropical experience is the outdoor garden shower (with hot and cold water) which is a wonderful option to a conventional bathroom!
The bedroom is spacious, light and bright and overlooks a large variety of tropical plants, gingers, rainforest flame trees, ponds and palms designed for private enjoyment.
Butterflies and sun birds play on the flowers and a sea breeze keeps the home pleasantly cool and comfortable all year round.
The accommodation is part of my home which is an older traditional Queensland style with timber floors, windows and shutters and was built in 1956 by the local fire fighters.

Machan's beach is an attractive and friendly coastal village situated 15 minutes north of Cairns, nestled in behind the cane fields. It has been untouched by any commercial tourism and retains much of north Queensland's original charm.
Very safe, it is lovely to walk everywhere, especially early mornings and evenings along the Esplanade. A walk through the shaded 'Dungarra' Nature Reserve is fascinating and very highly regarded by bird watching groups who have viewed over 130 different species - including the colourful Paradise Kingfisher.
The river is a popular fishing place with many aboriginal and islanders net fishing and also the pelicans!
A charming waterfront licensed restaurant and bar is in easy walking distance and open 7 nights a week and day time for lunch on weekends. . There is a cute daytime Philipino cafe for coffee, pastries and more. There is a general store, post office and fuel station.

Annie's place is lovely, quiet, and close to a great water-front walk, and Annie herself is very warm and accommodating. She provides a little fridge if you have your own food, and a microwave if you want to cook it, plus basic eating equipment. Museli, milk and yogurt are available for breakfast. The airport is very close by, so it's very convenient to stay here if you are arriving or departing Cairns from here. The bed was VERY comfortable and the place VERY clean. Thanks Annie!

Suze2015-08-10T00:00:00Z

I stayed at Annie's place with two friends for a week. We had a really good and relaxing time at Annie's place. The room was very nice and clean and the outdoor shower awesome. Annie prepared a light breakfast for us every day and was very helpful and forthcoming. She recommended a really good restaurant and gave us tips for nice day trips. I would recommend staying with her anytime. Thanks for the good time, Annie.

Parinaz2015-01-11T00:00:00Z

My partner and I would like to thank Annie for letting us staying at your house for the 5 days. You have been an amazing host! Annie's place was clean, very cute and felt like you were staying at a retreat !! We had pretty much the backyard to ourself and it was beautiful scenery. We can't wait to come back to Cairns and if we do, we will definitely come back to Annie's place!

Bich (Sally)2016-07-24T00:00:00Z

My parents and I spent 5 nights at the Tropical Beach Retreat. Annie is a fantastic host, very warmhearted, kind, caring and extremely helpful!! She provided us with very useful tips on where to go and what to do and was always available to answer our questions and help us organize our trip. Annie is a very knowledgeable person and very open to sharing her knowledge on aboriginal art and culture. Staying with her was such an enriching experience. The room she offers is clean, tidy, bright and spacious. Annie, we loved your place and we are coming back.

Zoe2014-12-21T00:00:00Z

Very comfortable. Annie was a great host and the space was well kept and relaxing. I would have stayed longer if I could have.

Benjamin2016-11-14T00:00:00Z

Perfect base for activities in the Cairns area. Located in a quiet and beautiful residential beach, we rented a car to get around, though there are buses. The rainforest garden is peaceful and relaxing. Annie is an excellent host who helped us have some amazing and unique experiences in Cairns, which we wouldn't have had otherwise; including an afternoon racing sailboats, a local dinner club and an intro to Aboriginal art. We had a cultural and fun stay in Cairns as a result.

Johanna2017-06-08T00:00:00Z

Just perfect. Great location. Comfy and tropical.

Marie2016-10-13T00:00:00Z

A cosy bedroom in a 3 bedroom greenhouse. We use solar power & water from reserve tanks. We are located at Six Mile which is 5 mins from both domestic/international airport. I am happy to provide airport pick-up/drop-off for guests.

The room has a queen size bed. It does not have A/C unit but has a ceiling fan.
Our home has two A/C units located in the kitchen/dining area and the lounge area. We leave the A/C units running all day (because we have solar power) so it cools the whole house.
You will share our home with myself, Abraham and Elizabeth. We are not always home because of our different job schedules. And we respect guests' privacy at all times.

We don't have the best view of the city but if you want to meet locals and get an insight of real PNG then our neighborhood is perfect for that. We call our neighborhood the sixth.
Our home has 24 hours security.

The house was very clean, Christine was very helpful, and Christine's (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) very friendly.

Frederico2017-03-16T00:00:00Z

Christine is very friendly

Nature2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

Christine is a really good host, she always cares about the guest and she can help you in many ways to let you be in Moresby in a safe and nice way, I totally recomend to stay with her.

Jorge2016-12-03T00:00:00Z

Christine is really kind and helpful. She picked me up and dropped me off at the airport. She also took me to the museum and the supermarket. Her apartment has nice view and 24 hours security. And she has a portable WiFi. You can stay in safety and comfortable.

AKIHIKO2017-05-24T00:00:00Z

Christine is lovely and super helpful. This was my first stay in PoM and the place can be challenging to navigate due to security issues, particularly for a female traveling by herself. Christine and other people staying in the apartment were an invaluable asset working out the dos and don'ts of the city, e.g. introducing me to a driver. Place is clean and comfortable

Camilla2017-03-07T00:00:00Z

I passed a really nice days witch cristine in her quite apartment. She are very friendly and always available for any help or whatever you need...

Edu2016-09-14T00:00:00Z

I can't recommend strongly enough, the host is wonderful, not only does Christine make you feel at home, she goes out of here to make your stay enjoyable and is also very informative and knowledgeable. The place is comfortable and more than adequate for a few days or more. It is in a secure compound a few miles out of town. It is in close proximity to a squatter settlement where security is a concern, however the compound is secure and if you follow Christine's advice you will be quite safe.

Nick2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 14 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
